my review

Ok, I just got the 17-item bundle from Amazon Canada. Not only it came with postage due (for the tune of additional $4.62) but it is junky in the worst sense.

Here's my review that I also posted on Amazon.com:

This bundle does sound like a steal, especially if you can get it for under ten bucks. Unfortunately, it is not very good.

The fake leather cover looks cheap. You definitely won't be able to confuse it with B&N covers. It does have one useful feature (the stand) that works quite well. It is also pretty light and should provide sufficient protection in case you drop your Nook. On the negative side, the magnets that keep cover closed do not work well with Nook inside. They are weak and require precise fitment in order to match with cover. And if you try to flip the cover open, there is no matching magnet on the other side to keep the cover in place.

The supplied chargers (both AC and car) are standard 5V USB chargers. They do not work with Nook Color. The brand Nook charger uses proprietary charger and cable that supplies more juice to the Nook and allows it to be completely recharged in couple of hours. The problem with standard 5V USB chargers is that there is not enough current going to the Nook. It would still charge but only if you keep the screen off and allow it to stand connected overnight. Hardly an ideal situation. But again, being standard 5v USB chargers they should work quite well with your other micro-USB devices, such as phones.

The screen protectors are cheap and do not fit Nook Color screen. They are slightly bigger, making them useless unless you have a very good cutter and a steady hand.

The headphones can be immediately transferred to the garbage bean - they are the cheapest kind possible that would sound awful and hurt your ears from poor fitment.

Probably the best part of the entire bundle are 4 colored silicon covers. These are actually perfect for your Nook Color. They are extremely light, fit snugly, have bumpers on the corners and properly expose all Nook buttons as well as rear speaker and memory card slot. They are also quite sticky, resulting in very good hand handling. The do smell awful when you just open the package but smell dissipates in couple of days and they seem extremely durable to last you a long time. I have no idea why would someone need 4 covers when one is more then enough. At least you can choose the color that works best for your taste. I, personally, like the semi white color best.

The rest of the stuff (junky mini lamp, some assorted audio cables, rubber band and headphone holder/fish skeleton) are included to pad the bundle and make it look more attractive while you probably won't ever use any of them.

So here we have it: excellent silicon covers in 4 color choices, semi-decent full cover with integrated stand and some spare 5V USB chargers that do not work with Nook Color. You'd be the judge whether the asking price for this bundle is fair for you.

Thanks for your thoughts.

- I dont find it junky.

- magnets work fine to keep the cover shut, why would you want to use the case upside down ?

- Chargers are standard and do work (1A), since the nook needs its special cable to fast-charge I use the new charger with my phone.

- I'm using my screen protector just fine (huge reduction in glare and fingerprints). Its easy to cut with just a pair of scissors. Just measure off 1cm and mark 3-4 dots to guide your cut.

I didnt get the silicon cases as i knew I wouldnt need them :p, the headphones are junk as you mention. (they are earbuds, not the comfortable in-ear type).

My package arrived! Will open it when I get home from work. Woohoo!

[Nook Color Accessories] Nburnes:
I didn't even have to cut any of the screen protectors, and I used both. (moms and my nook) Both fit perfect without the need for scissors.
[Nook Color Accessories] Canadoc:
Well quick review:

The leather case overall is good and for the money fantastic. It is bulkier than I'd like. The fit is good and in landscape allows multiple viewing angles. The magnets to hold case close are weak and small but with care work to keep the lid closed.

Overall the quality is not as good as the B&N cases but for 10% of the cost it provides more functionality.

The silicon covers provide nice fit and grippiness. Considering I got 4 of them with the case 2 screen protectors and a bunch of other cables etc. For 14$ including shipping thus was a steal!!!

Haven't tried the screen protectors yet.
[Nook Color Accessories] iflu:
My package was received on Friday. The shipping time is around 2 weeks.

Overall $8.99 shipped to Canada for 17 items is a steal!!! I am sure that if I buy those items at Toronto here separately it will cost me at least $50 - but I won't buy some of them for sure. :-) I really not sure how they can make money from selling this at $8.99 shipped from China to Canada. I am sure it is a lot cheap to buy this over dealextreme.com at this price even though I also got a lot of good deals at DX before. :-)

The case is not leather but the quality is Ok. If I can find a case like this for $10, I will probably still buy it since a smaller cell phone case like this quality might cost me $10 locally. The case makes me feel my NC a little bit lighter (instead of heavier) as it feels like a book now. Magnets are a bit weak but I didn't find it bothers me much. It does what it need to close my book color properly. The 3 angle viewing design is also liked.

I did need to cut the screen protector but it was not too hard to do. It was too long to have covered the home button if you don't cut it. I wished I don't have to do so but again it doesn't bother me too much. By the way, I like the quality of the screen protector. I was not a fans of using screen protector but after I used it I realized that I should have apply it from the day one. It was much better with the screen protector applied - huge glare reduction and almost no finger print now.... And it didn't really reduce the sensitivity of the screen which I worried.

The 4 silicon cases are with good quality. I bought some other cell phone silicon cases for $2-5 each. This one is of good quality and is prefectly fit. I might use them but why they included 4 which is way too many.... :-)

Other items included are not too bad at least when I look at them. I can find some use of them I believe....

Overall, it is a great crazy deal for $8.99 shipped. Thanks OP.:):):)
[Nook Color Accessories] Canadoc:
you mean to say they only covered the glass?

Mine are bout 1 cm too long and 1 mm too wide.
[Nook Color Accessories] raymasky:
can someone please post the link to the amazon page ? the frontpage doesnt have any link
[Nook Color Accessories] iflu:
Interesting, mine is with prefect width but 1cm too long.
[Nook Color Accessories] victle:
My screen protector fits precisely. The later shipping batch seems to have incorrect size. My friend gets twos that are longer and a little wider than the NC screen size.
[Nook Color Accessories] Canadoc:
is the company going to ship out replacements?
[Nook Color Accessories] alxrg:
Seems they don't have any more crazy deals right now.. Would everyone that has received their products say they are fairly satisfied or disappointed with some of the quality?

Just trying to decide if I should order from them! :D
[Nook Color Accessories] britoso:
I'm happy with the case. Hard to find one with a stand for this price (paid $17), cables, screen protector and charger made it a good deal.
[Nook Color Accessories] :
These cases look pretty awesome. I keep seeing more and more landscape cases, but for the life of me I can't get my Nook color to rotate anything except web pages into landscape mode. I have the Orientation checked in my screen settings, and I saw a picture of a Nook Color on the B&N site running the stock reader in landscape, so I dunno what else it could be. Stock, unrooted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asrar900:
Does anybody know if one can find a live wallpaper that was found in samsung d900 for android??

I have searched a lot on google but could not find that wallpaper or was that a theme ... It was so awesome with birds flying cloud cover on sky when signal strength went down and clear otherwise. Day and night was accordingly. Fireworks when a missed call or message. We have a lot of live wallpapers on market and other places but no one could match that brilliance. I would really be obliged if some one can post that wallpaper or link to that wallpaper??

thanks

[Xoom Themes and Apps] futuregerald:
Do you know if he's going to post the paid version in the market? I'd really like that cause it's easier when it comes time to restore files after doing wipes or getting new devices. I love rock player Lite, getting rid of the R is almost worth 10 bucks but if it actually works better(fact) then it's definitely work 10 bucks.

Be aware of that EVO has different resolution qHD 960×540... And it could not be easy to port this sense into ours DHD :/ I wish it couldn`t but ... :/ I hate those manufacturers ... Google said the resolution must be unified but they always change it in some way :/ However ... Google said about end of fragmentation of Android but there is still fragmentation :/

I have the stock 8gb sd card in my evo, i am going to be putting in a new 16gb one, and i know to movie my pictures music videos and app data, but i have a lot of apps on the SD, how do i move those?
[Android Apps and Games] Shawheim:
if you have apps that you want to keep you need to download appbrain from the market. sign into it and back up all of your apps. they all go to the appbrain website where you can log in there and see what all you hvae. its one of the easiest things to do to back up your apps.

the other way you can do it is to download Astro file manager and make a back up of your apps there. there will be a file on your sd card named backups, move that to your new card. once you have the card back in your phone, open up astro go to the backups folder and each app you backed up will be there. touch the app and you will get prompted to install. either way works. if you have a lot of apps like i do, i prefer appbrain.
[Android Apps and Games] baboonsRus:
You will probably get better answers in the Q&a section, but I think you just format the card through your phone, and then copy the whole card to the new card.

I just got my Dinc yesterday and I was wanted to know the difference between internal storage and phone memory and what they're used for. I came from the Eris so I've never seen internal storage. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kid_Cudi:
Internal storage is like sd card type memory that's not removable. Phone memory is for apps, the rom, data etc.

At least I think so lol

Whatever you want. You can put music on there, set your camera to save on internal. No app data tho...

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] iamjamesxia:
I've been looking non stop for a week for a solution and none seem to work for me. It's a 1.2 with a 3.5mm jack on the top.

Ok, well first, i rooted it and it was working fine: recovery, adb, rom. But then i decided to run cyanogen 7. I flashed 6.35 radio wrong and in the wrong order. I panicked and went into fastboot and erased radio, recovery, and hboot. Then i tried to flash using fastboot and it says now failed<remote: not allow>

i do have a fastboot device.

[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Hi

Just wanted to know if others experience this too?

when making a phone call, my sound is lagging/blurry/scratching. Sometimes sound like (kind of) a robot. :confused:

I live in the city, and signal loss or network change is therefore not an issue.

Just thought it was wierd, but guess it will be fixed with update.

From post #12:

I hoped this was just a software error, but baseband upgrade and custom ROM didn't work. This is how it sounds

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4651820/Stemme 002.amr (starts around 15 sec)
[LG Optimus 2x] sbcdk:
Exact same thing here. Sounds like a loose connection in the speaker. Same city as you, but on 3 instead of TDC. Nothing to do with network, it's either soft-or hardware error in the LG. Let's just hope it's soft :)
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
no problem here the sound is perfekt. i have telia
[LG Optimus 2x] raf2k:
Its a known problem.

I sent the phone back as DOA because of this and few other problems.
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Sorry. Forgot to change provide r, I'm on 3 as well...

I hope it's software too. Waiting for better rom from paul before testing...

My camera has stopped working as well of today : s

Started of so well with the phone. But sucks with bugs on stock rom
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Do you know if it's software or hardware related?
[LG Optimus 2x] fen_nyc:
See this thread here. Give LG a buzz as they are accepting bug reports for a major update.
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Thanks for heads up. Looks like it's software error fortunately, so Im more calm now :)

Found this at Paul's forum.

"Problem solved with the new baseband I think. Haven't noticed any tinny sound effect when in phone - either 2G or 3G connectivity.

It's a shockingly large improvement. Really bad that LG sells the phone with that software because mine was almost unusable in crowds because you had no idea what the other person was saying. Will be keen to jump to newer basebands now if they become available since it's proven it does make a huge difference. At least it's not a reason to NOT buy this phone anymore since it's easily fixable thanks to Paul now :-)"

Problem was solved after update.

Check for updates here: http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/335049/in-call-sound-quality/
[LG Optimus 2x] sibbor:
Hehe, funny to be quoted here, from a thread I started over at MoDaCo. According to my poll there a lot of 2X users experience bad sound.

Like I wrote at MoDaCo - I haven't noticed any weird sound after the baseband flash, so please upgrade and tell me if you also notice an improvement. I'll update the thread accordingly.

Btw, what baseband are you currently on?
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Hehe. Im just having trouble remembering which i wrote in and which i read in :-D

But...

I Updated baseband now = no difference.., still scratchy sound...

Flashed pauls custom rom = still scratchy sound...

Seems in some cases it might ne hardware related :-(

Perhaps im unlucky.

The volume is okay/high enough. I just got scratching.... similar to white noise
[LG Optimus 2x] fen_nyc:
If this is truly a hardware issue, don't delay- send it back. Furthermore, be mindful of the replacement you receive. Here is an example of an "ugly" situation that happened between two owners. Be firm & inspect your replacement thoroughly- if it's not in "like-new" condition or has residual data from a previous owner, argue for a brand new 2X.
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
I think we got quite good policies in Denmark, so I'll probably just get a new one at first :) But thanks for the advice. Hopefully the next will show up better.

A friend of mine experienced pixel "errors" on his AND his girlfriends, so the next one better be fully functional... I know that TDC provider in Denmark wanted to postpone the release too, because of malfunctioning devices. This was before they ever sold any, and they haven't got them in stock yet :eek:

I hoped this was just a software error, but baseband upgrade and custom ROM didn't work. This is how it sounds

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4651820/Stemme 002.amr (starts around 15 sec)

Now I just have to wait for "three" to send it in, and return a new one... if it happens three times, I'll get my mony back, and perhaps go for the SGS2 and hope it gets Tegra2... a shame, such a nice phone otherwise. Hope they make it work, but I hear a lot of complaints *fingers crossed*

EDIT: Damn, just heard of three occasions of the same problem here in Denmark... hope they can fix it
[LG Optimus 2x] Aduck79:
I'm not experiencing any scratchy sounds like you, not even before I upgraded baseband. So I guess it's not all O2X in Denmark that has the problem.

I bought mine through Callme.
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
The problem has been there all the time for me. Just saying the update didn't work for me, so I guess it is hardware related in my case. There has just been some discussions about wether it is hardware or software related.

The problem doesn't occure on all devices, but some are unlucky. 2 of my friends, which bought it on the release date, as my self, has experienced the same problem.

Also, on mobildebat.dk (danish forum) people complain about having the same problem. Such a shame.

I turned in my phone now, and has to wait for up to 10 days for LG to come up with a solution now :( Hope it goes faster. If i went down to the store last wednesday, I would hav gotten a new phone right away, due to 14 days return policy. Now I have to use my Nokia N82, damn it's slow :(
[LG Optimus 2x] pslind69:
Hi,

I have had the same problems on my week old phone. Scrathy sound, Buzzing sound that both ends can hear and the other end sounding "tinny" or like a robot.

I also had random reboots.

Sent it in to repairs monday, hopefully it won't come back with "no faults found".

MY local Telia shop, where I bought the phone, hadn't heard about the problem from more than 1-2 people. Danish LG customerservice also hadn't heard about it. (This was a week ago.)

BTW: Is it normal for camera area to get very hot during calls? I had that too. Battery time was ok. 1-1½ day of normal use. Heavy wifi/talk/gps = less than a day.

I made a recording of the buzzing sound (starts at around 20secs in.):
